C Specification

The VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    void*              pNext;
    VkBool32           mutableDescriptorType;
} VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE;

Members

This structure describes the following feature:

Description

  • sType is the type of this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • mutableDescriptorType indicates that the implementation must support using the VkDescriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE with at least the following descriptor types, where any combination of the types must be supported:

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER

  • Additionally, mutableDescriptorType indicates that:

    • Non-uniform descriptor indexing must be supported if all descriptor types in a VkMutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE for VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE have the corresponding non-uniform indexing features enabled in VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingFeatures.

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_UPDATE_AFTER_BIND_BIT with descriptorType of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE relaxes the list of required descriptor types to the descriptor types which have the corresponding update-after-bind feature enabled in VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingFeatures.

    • Dynamically uniform descriptor indexing must be supported if all descriptor types in a VkMutableDescriptorTypeListVALVE for VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_MUTABLE_VALVE have the corresponding dynamic indexing features enabled.

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_SET_LAYOUT_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_POOL_BIT_VALVE must be supported.

    • VK_DESCRIPTOR_POOL_CREATE_HOST_ONLY_BIT_VALVE must be supported.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceMutableDescriptorTypeFeaturesVALVE-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MUTABLE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_FEATURES_VALVE
